Telesis Hiring

[icefr8dawg]

That's a damm good question, I was wondering the same thing myself. I'm glad I sold my 310 because I have a feeling Cessna (greedy) and the Faa (paranoid) are going to go after the creaky 310 wings next.

Next time you email him why dont you tell him that. The phone works both ways. The front office door usually works even better. I know he needs guys in a bad way.
